Premieres: September 11
Network: FOX
Hosted By John Walsh
What to Expect: The Season 24 premiere is a special episode that looks back at the events of September 11, 2001. John Walsh reports from Ground Zero, taking viewers through the events of that day and offering updates on the search for those responsible. The program also features footage of Walsh’s visit to the site just two days after the events took place.
In addition, the show asks for viewers’ help in tracking down Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, one of the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists. El Shukrijumah is believed to be one of the men overseeing Al-Qaeda’s efforts in planning attacks in the United States and other Western countries. He is suspected as the mastermind behind last year’s attempted bombing of a New York City subway station. El Shukrijumah grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and speaks English fluently. He also completed military flight training and did translation work for Omar Abdel Rahman, the cleric who was linked to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
